All Christian preschools and church daycares in Columbus

Showing 1 to 25 of 25

Providers on paid plans are listed first, then those whose name or website names a denomination, then A to Z by name. We do not rank daycares.

How this list is made: Columbus daycares whose name names a church or the Christian faith, plus those that describe a Christian program. Some faith-based daycares do not say so in their name, and a church name does not always mean a religious program. Ask how faith is part of the day. 5 of these listings come from public business listings, with no Ohio license record matched yet. A daycare without this tag may still be faith-based; ask.
